Unexpected blessings!!!!

Well, thanks to the fact that I'm under the weather, I was strolling through my rss feed this afternoon and found this welcome piece of news from petapixel: FREE ADOBE SOFTWARE!! And it's legit! Here's the page with the downloads: Creative Suite 2.

I'm so excited. I used photoshop for years, back when I had an employer who was willing to pay for it, and I've really missed it since then, but I haven't been able to justify the expense since I'm no longer in the design biz.

Hello! I'm Alice, which is my real name (most of the other names here have been changed, though, to protect the innocent). I live in an circa-100-year-old house in downtown Chattanooga, TN with my first husband, G-Dog (who is from New Canaan, CT), a cockapoo named Nonnie (the moniker comes from a Laurens van der Post book) and a part-time (possibly autistic) cat named Greta. Our daughter, Emmie, lives nearby (for the moment, anyway), so she pops by regularly to amuse us and/or stir the pot.

This blog is about a lot of things -- the places I visit, food I cook, people I meet, photos I take, things I read -- with a bit of politics thrown into the mix. I'm a slow food-loving locavore, I enjoy running, biking and hiking, and in 2013, I hope to get out from behind the keyboard more, and increase time spent creating (I make soap, moisturizers and household cleansers, and enjoy sewing, crocheting and trying to knit).
